About the Answer Key Pattern
Each of the three medium-wise answer keys (Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada) contains 100 questions across four booklet versions (A, B, C, D). Questions 1 to 90 carry the same answer pattern across all three language mediums, while questions 91 to 100 differ between the Malayalam, Tamil, and Kannada versions. This is a common practice in multi-medium Kerala PSC exams, where a shared core paper is combined with a smaller medium-specific section.
